I listed the four in my earlier post, and mentioned a the fifth just a few posts ago. Post #26, #28 , #31 , #35. You posted #71 earlier today and it garnered neg rep. That's five. zapatos got the same answer. What posts did I miss? I wil go through them myself until...

That we have a longer amount of time allowed to alter a thread. I think we must have something like a one-day period before the ability to do so is expired. ((Mods - i need to have the ability to change my thread in physics, or i can't perfect it)) Tsadi - cheers

Technology is changing a lot. It is a large part of science I would like to propose that there be a Technology Forum where we could discuss topics about New Technology coming out and Tech Improvements int the future. What do you think?

well hey why not? I mean Science isn`t ALL about hard work, if they`re kept clean and non offensive to race,color,creed and Science based jokes, I think it may be a bit of harmless fun that "Ooops" thread about the fallen satellite could have gone in there for instance. maybe a poll with 3 options; Yes, No, Not bothered. Nerds can have phun 2 !!

So, I have noticed that many of the members who have been associated with either trolling or preaching on this site have done similar things on other sites. I was thinking that there could be a tool developed that allow the moderators to use the information provided by those type of users and be able to use that information to do a massive search of anything related to that user. For example, I noticed that many of these types of users use avatars that are photos of other people who are still alive, but have no association with this type of forum or have interests involved in this forum. For example, I used google image search for avatars from some of these type of users …

this is the 8billionth time i have gotten this PM.

Has the ability to delete posts been added? I recently got this notification: However, upon going to that thread, my post was the last one. 21 hours ago. So how could somebody quote me just 16 hours ago? I thought editing posts was disabled after like 60 minutes? I've covered the name just in case, however I will say it was a mod. So maybe it's something only Mods can do? I never got a chance to see what it was, so I'm just curious.

There is a disgraceful post containing full on gay pornography hanging for hours in the lounge section. I’ve reported the post few hours ago but apparently there arent any mods online to take it off. There are quite a few regulars online though, could we give an ability to hide posts to regulars like @Strange or @studiot or @iNowif they agree to it? There are quite a lot of hits to this site per hour and a hanging pornographic photo along posts containing extreme violence is not something we want this forum to be related to. Maybe we could do a vote who we would want to have an ability to hide posts at times when no mods are online? @hypervalent_iodine, @swansont, what do…

In regards to this thread: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/102612-suggestion-about-the-speculations-forum/ I was nothing but civil throughout the discussion. I attempted to help improve the forum and I rationalized all my suggestions. Never at any point did I demand that these changes be applied, as Phi for All said. Never did I converse with a negative tone or attacked swansont in any way. So why did my thread get locked for something another member said? I did not say these words, so why was the modnote addressing anyone else but the person who did? I think there is more to discuss. I think I brought up a valid point in my last post before closure, …

So, I took a look at the rule: Now, I remember posting something to the news section about an article and I put the article inside a quote box with citations. However, it was taken down because of this rule. Can anyone clarify what occurred? Must if be paraphrased even when cited?

Could I start a Q&A thread where people can post scientific questions? It seems that a great number of threads are devoted to very simple inquiries.

I'm finding myself mildly irked by the abuse of the "status" feature to keep crankery on the forums' main page, i.e. in the "Recent Status Updates" section on the right side. Do these statuses violate posting rules 8 or 10?

how do i acces private forums like polotics??? any advice would really help thanks a ton!

Okay, we'll drop discussion on why Jordan didn't get the Nobel, but we need to clear some things up: BeeCee posted the inclusion on anti-Semiticsm directly as we discussed why Jordan did not get a Nobel. BeeCee made it LOOK like Jordan was anti-Semitic. That's one of the reasons I don't want to see his stuff .. look at how many posts took away from the topic, as you pointed out. BeeCee was not answering the points brought up in the articles supporting the Speculation, rather totally ignoring all articles, and went off about creating anti-matter or DE in the lab, and the anti-Semitism stuff, along with his insults of 'Nonsense' rather than discussing the Speculati…

I was re-reading the etiquette guide and I noticed the section about acronyms, the [acr] BB code doesn't appear to be functional. Is this true for others, or is it just my browser? (Sony PS Vita.)

Why is Tapatalk not activated on scienceforums.net ? I know that developing an app can be costly and more complex,but please activate Tapatalk so that users can communicate with scienceforums.net community on the go.

... and therefore I'm unable to vote in polls, start threads, etc... Can anyone help?

I'd like a second opinion on something I was faced with elsewhere. It's not my intentioin to bring a discussion from another forum here, but to get an unbiased opinion about something that happened elsewhere. A while back I presented an arguement whereby I proved another member's assumption to be wrong. After I posted the correction to the error I got the following reply, in part -------------------- ever since you re-joined this forum you have seemed eager to prove me wrong every time I opened my mouth . -------------------- Would you say that this is an ad hominem? I looked up the term ad hominem in Webster's Online Dictionary at From Webster http://www.m…

I would like to write an introduction of myself on an entirely separate forum here called Introductions. It can even be a subforum in The Lounge forum.

I don't know where this topic would go since I can't post in the forum announcement sections and there doesn't seem to be a "suggestions" section, so I just put it right below the forum announcements. Although music itself is largely unknown in "how" and "why" something sounds "beautiful" or "scary" or etc, the processes involved with making music are very scientific, and just as you cannot add just any two numbers together to equal "3", you cannot just slap any amount of notes together in any order and make something that sounds modern or sad or happy, which is why there should be a music theory section on this website. There's also another website that would wor…

Hello. Clicking your own avatar shows the option of listing "your attachments". Can the option of showing your posts be added there, if deserved or convenient to members ? Thank you.

Does anybody know how to do it? It's usually French ones I want to use.

I would like the posts in the pseudoscience and metaphysics forum and the speculations forum also to be on the home page. The reason? Both are in areas of science, and they each get a lot of posts. Maybe new members will stay with us for more than a few days if they learn about all of the discussion in these two forums. Please consider, thanks.

I realize that the nomination process for the user awards is already closed, but next year I would suggest adding a couple of fun categories: -Favorite/Most Interesting Signature -Favorite/Coolest Avatar -Favorite Username
